Phidang Bridge ready for inauguration, finally


MANGAN, 27 May:  The Phidang Bridge in Lower Dzongu, connecting Dzongu with the rest of the State, is all set for inauguration. The 123 metre long, Multi Span Steel Bridge has been constructed across the Teesta by the Roads & Bridges Department. The bridge is 99% complete now and is expected to be inaugurated next month.
The old bridge here had a capacity of only 5 tonnes load due to which trucks were not allowed to enter Dzongu from here. This was a severe inconvenience since when other roads are blocked, this also becomes the only access to North Sikkim.
The new bridge with its capacity of 40 tonnes will now also allow trucks to enter Dzongu. The people of Dzongu have expressed appreciation towards the department for constructing this bridge.
